[quote=Anonymous]I used to be super judgmental of people with dysfunctional behaviors when I was younger. And I did not come from a fully functional family either- I was neglected and abused. It takes understanding, life experiences, self reflection, and emotional maturity to deal with dysfunctional behaviors with kindness and appropriate boundaries. I’m still working on it and I have done therapy. A lot of it was for me the inability to deal and to understand where the other person was coming from, and also perhaps a denial of my own deficiencies and trying to project an image that I was totally put together when I really was damaged inside. And I judged that part of myself so I judged it in others. Once I learned how to gently enforce boundaries, I was able to be more understanding and tolerant and less avoidant.[/quote]
